September 07, 2023 19:47 • Category: Recipes#drinks

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of very ripe strawberries, cut the tops off and cut them into chunks.
  • 3 cups cold water
  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1oz fresh squeezed lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 12oz selter water

Steps

  1. Put the strawberries in a pot with the water and bring to a boil. Then stir and reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes

  2. Strain juice from the strawberries through a strainer. Discard strawberry pulp.

  3. Add the strawberry juice to a saucepan along with the sugar, stir until the sugar is dissolved and bring back to a boil. Then reduce to medium heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. Cut heat and let cool. Store and refrigerate.

  5. Add the lime juice and desired amount of syrup to a glass and top with a 12oz can of seltzer water. I've had best results with between 5-7 tablespoons of syrup to 12oz can of selter.

Enjoy! 🍓🥤
